Otome games for PlayStation Vita using emulator?

[otome!]

Figured now would be a good time to dig up this thread.

Panic Palette
https://github.com/Vita3K/compatibility/issues/1953

Himehibi Zoku! Nigakki -New Princess Days-
https://github.com/Vita3K/compatibility/issues/2613

Moshi, Kono Sekai ni Kami-sama ga Iru to suru Naraba
https://github.com/Vita3K/compatibility/issues/807

All three games above are tagged "playable" on the Vita emulator. I did a small test run myself today, SEEMS to work, obviously I didn't reach very far, minigame in Himehibi plays fine though.

For example Storm Lover is still not working.
https://github.com/Vita3K/compatibility/issues/843
I tried and yep, black screen only after a minute, switching between OpenGL and Vulkan doesn't solve the problem either.

2nd V appears to have problems too but idk, didn't try it myself.
https://github.com/Vita3K/compatibility/issues/844
Would be nice if more people could test and put comments under those topics so the developers can become aware of the issues (or message them on Discord). They still haven't changed the "playable" tag for these two...

Ohh I didn't know moshikami worked, last time I checked it didn't, thanks for the heads up! Yeah the ports are over priced most of the time lol but it is what it is I also think there's no new content indeed, or I missed the info

For Storm Lover (V et 2nd V) in an older build of vita3K (I haven't used vita3k in like a year or so I think) it DID work BUT it was very buggy (like it'd crash iirc), I'd say in-game-minus, the black screen issue was solved (unless it's back again idk). I hope they'll port all games (and the FD PLEASE) and give us official translations for all games though

For the tags only making a github report works to make them change them I think, not messaging them on Discord.

It's good news for anyone who simply wants to play those games, not talking about collecting games only for the sake of collection.

Because I see people keep looking for the Switch versions but they don't add any new content if I'm not mistaken-
except the chibis in Himehibi that got upscaled and are no longer pixelated...
and Panic palette changed their opening and ending videos... very wow indeed...
(not if you look at the price tag for a 10-20 year old game Company pricing never fails to amaze me. Yes also I'm poor so...)

anw anyone interested should try running the games themselves, if you have a Github account then report any bugs there because most testers probably only ran the games for a short amount of time.

Do all the sprites for moshikami load for you? Sadly they don't for me at times or are cut in half, headless LIs
Switch version runs really well apparently but only the chinese version seems to have leaked so far.

Edit:
To be more specific, the game for me freezes after the prologue or 30 minutes in the game and crashes. Also after the prologue many sprites seem to not appear at all.

Storm Lover doesn't work for me. I haven't tested the 2nd game but for the 1st game, it just freezes at a black screen. There's no way to go past it.

My experience matches what was described by this user - except the DLCs part because I haven't touched those:
https://github.com/Vita3K/compatibility/issues/843#issuecomment-2621312058

For the tags, I believe only collaborators who have been given permissions can edit them. Currently, it seems to be automated when the topic is first created, but I don't think random users can edit it afterwards.

So unless the devs become aware of the issue, those games are stuck with the wrong label.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm not online much these days...

Moshikami runs perfectly for me. I don't know how far you've played, but I spent around 2 hours (give or take...) testing it in my free time and I haven't seen any graphical issues you described. Judging from my save files, the game should have already branched out.

I haven't experienced any freezes, crashes or glitches either. I tried putting the game on auto and skipping a bit, those functions are fine too. Falling rain and effects etc all work smoothly.

Don't know if this makes a difference, I'm using Vulkan with the latest vita3k build. There's a chance it depends on the route, but that would be weird, all routes should use similar code and stuff.

Maybe you can upload your save files right before when those errors happened for you, so people can have a quick way to test if they encounter the same problems? It would be great to have a larger sample size than just...you and me lol The Vita emulator really needs more love (and testers)

No, I meant that they check regularly from what I know the github so by talking about the issue (and maybe also talking about it on their discord in case they don't change it but I doubt they won't) they'll change it I think!

Ah I understand now! That could work yeah, it's just someone else already commented on it months ago but it hasn't been changed, maybe they overlooked it

I only have one account for work on Github rn, creating another one means another password to remember. I'll try to make one and leave a comment when I stop being lazy... ofc if anyone else reading this thread wants to do it that'd be wonderful too lol

I'll try with the newest update tysm! ❤
But now that I think about it, maybe it freezed because I was also hooking it with Agent? don't know if that affects smth though. Fps were going crazy too.

And yeah vita emulator really needs more love and testers! I'll get back as soon as I run it!
Haven't tested much but fortissimo is unplayable and the rubyparty games (kiniro corda, harukanaru) but it's been months since I tested them.
